Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 19:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

11And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

12But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

13And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

14And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:11-14

Biblical Context

The passage shows outward power rising, then being uprooted by fury. What seemed strong is dried up by winds and fire, leaving a barren wilderness and a lament about a ruler's fall.

Neville's Inner Vision

Reality in Ezekiel is not a map of empires but a mirror of your consciousness. The strong rods for rulers and the tall stature among branches are your confidence in how the self should appear when you think you are ruling life. The 'fury' that plucks it up is a psychic backlash when you refuse to own the responsibility of your own inner quality. The east wind drying the fruit, the breaking rods, the fire that consumes—these are the inner trials that burn away false claims of control. Until, at last, you find yourself planted in a wilderness of dryness where no external sceptre remains. Then the fire leaves your rod and there is no apparent power to govern—yet this is not punishment, but a reordering of your inner weather. The lament is a call to awaken: you are not the outer branches but the awareness that perceives them. The kingdom rises when you revise the sense of self, feel it real, and allow the inner I AM to rule from within.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of being the inner I AM ruling your life. Revise your self-concept as abundant and intact, and feel that reality in your chest as real.
